How many dedicated servers can my server run

[multigamedk]

Hey, how many dedicated server can my server run?

Spec's:
Processor: Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.00GHz
RAM: 2GB
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise

Ill use Counter-Strike: Source and Day Of Defeat Source.

My connection:
1 Upload

By the way it'd probably be 12 slot each server.

For your connection, do you mean 1mbps upload?

The hardware might be able to run around 48 slots per core, but your bandwidth is what would decide if it would work.

Yup 1mbps upload.
What about 2mbps upload, if it's really necessary I can get 40mbps upload I guess it was that.

1mbps would limit you to maybe 12 clients overall (with room for your own bandwidth). 2mbps probably could do 26 slots.

So I can run one server with 12 slots nothing more with 1mbps? And with 2mbps I could run two 12 slots servers right?

with that cpu, it might be working running two 12 slot servers, or it might not. it's right at the limit. don't expect a high quality, the cpu like 5 generations old...

Yay just some crappy computer I found somewhere in my mess
Well if you could recommend a small client server to gaming servers what would that be?

[BehaartesEtwas]

you mean a server for multiple game servers with a small number of clients each? I would say some cpu with a high number of cores but a relative low clock speed. depends on how many servers you want to run etc.

for all those questions there is not "the one" answer. it depends on so many factors, preferences and so on, so one can only provide some guide where to start looking. the decision in the end is still up to you...

12 slot each.
Can you recommend a cpu?

That CPU used to hold only 24 slots of TF2 back when it first came out.
I would recommend a Core 2 Duo or higher with at least 2.4GHz a core.
